Welcome Home Lawrenson Family, Welcome Home.


I can't even imagine the feeling of joy Nate and Tricia are experiencing right now.
I know I'm excited for them and to see them.  I'm excited to get to hold Gwyneth and make faces at her like all good uncles do.  I'm excited to have Nathan around the church again.  I'm excited to hear Tricia laugh.  I'm excited that I don't have to change Gwyneth's diapers.  

This Sunday is going to be a cool worship gathering at NHC as Nate shares with the church.  I'm thinking Kleenex stock may go up.  

Life has brought them all kinds of changes and now a new change, getting used to living at home (and finding a house).

God is a God of miracles.  Don't believe me?  Explain what the doctors can't explain.  Look at Tricia's smiling face and at that teeny tiny little baby girl, if you look at them you are looking at a miracle.  (Not to mention Nate getting the privilege of having  Tricia as his wife, that alone is a miracle)

So as Ty Pennington says, welcome home Lawrenson family.  Welcome home.

I wish I could go to your church on Sunday... you need to tape this and put it on YouTube for all of us to see and hear. What a testimonial that is going to be!!

Love is awesome.

this is beautiful. but enough is enough I have been pondering this question for a long time ... just how can you and Nate be nephew and uncle when you look about the same age. No need to answer my very nosey question but I am curious.

Lee said...

WHAT A COOL SIGN!!!! I bet they loved it!
Amen Amen Amen to all the rest!

@estelle - A wonderful compliment to me and scary for Nathan. :)
I'm actually 14 years older than Nate. It's probably my diet and exercise regime.
Plus the camera lies.

CJolly said...

Or could it be Nate's lack of diet and excercise regime?

A miracle, indeed!

I must admit, I was thinking the same thing as Estelle! Thanks for clearing it up...

I've loved following their story, and have been praying for this time for many months! I started reading Nate's blog just shortly after Gwyneth Rose was born. I am truly blown away by everything that God has done for those 3. I am a miracle baby myself, and while it's amazing that I'm alive 28 years after my whole ordeal.... it's awesome to see it in other ways, too. Not only is baby Gwyneth a miracle, Tricia is a total miracle with all of her health issues. We definitely serve an awesome, loving Savior! I hope they keep posting because it will be really neat to "watch" Gwyneth grow up now that their family has become such a huge part of my life. I'm on Nate's blog a gazillion times a day, and I tell everyone their story every chance I get. I even show coworkers the blog, and ask them to pray.

Anywho... enough rambling. I'm glad they're home. I'm jealous that you get to hold Gwyneth. She's so cute and sweet. Enjoy your time with them :)

Someone beat me to the Ty Pennington idea. The Lawrenson's are so worthy of an Extreme Home Makeover! I'll call up my counsin Ty this afternoon and let him know. No, really, I think you guys need to get together and submit an application for them. I would love to watch that episode!

Mandy said...

That is such an awesome idea!! I love LOVE L-O-V-E that show and how they help so many deserving families.

I think that Nate and Tricia are some of the most deserving out there. I hope they would consider applying. It would be really nice to see them have a hand up in this world. Besides they already have ties with ABC.

P.S. I can't wait to hear the podcast!
